LRA Assist. Commissioner Jlateh asserts

Integrity should be at the center of everyone’s education to promote change in the mindset of Liberians in order to succeed in nation-building, The Assistant Commissioner for Budget and Finance at the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) Mr. Ord-Siejepo Jlateh has recommended.

Commissioner Jlateh who served as the keynote speaker at the launch of the 2020 Integrity Icon held at the office of Accountability Lab in Monrovia, observed that some individuals have the mindset of not waiting for their time but want quick money.
